“A Human Touch,” written by Steve McEwan, Jackson Browne and Leslie Mendelson for the new Paul Haggis documentary 5B. Performed by Jackson Browne and Leslie Mendelson.
The documentary film ‘5B,’ is a powerful story about the nurses and doctors that revolutionized AIDS care during the 80’s.
Man, the downthread on this Liz Wheeler Tweet are something to behold.
True. But God tells us very clearly in the Bible that:
- Abortion is wrong.
- Stealing (socialism) is wrong.
- Coveting (redistribution of wealth) is wrong.
- Marriage is between one man & woman.
And yet Democrats support & celebrate political policies the Bible condemns.— Liz Wheeler (@Liz_Wheeler) January 4, 2020

-Abortion is None of your business.
- Sharing (socialism) is not bad.
- Coveting (Wealth hoarding) is wrong.
- Marriage is Not religiousAre you an Evangelical or are you a Christian? You can’t be both.
And if you claim to be Christian, You’ve failed. and no matter how much you ask for redemption, you continue to fail.
Coveting is the central principle of capitalism.

We still have temps ranging into the mid-50’s and showers along the Rhine, most unseasonable. Saturday we even had thunderstorms and a power outage (most electric lines are underground in Germany, but the terrain here prevents that to a great extent)
Things expected to get back to “normal” (40-ish) by mid-week.
So, will the kerfuffle over the fact that Trump doesn’t know or care about geography have the same news-gathering pundits clutching their pearls for days or will this get lost just as surely as when Trump couldn’t figure out that Nepal and Bhutan are separate countries from India or that Kansas and Missouri are separate states and that KC Chiefs don’t play in Kansas?
Yeah, didn’t think so.
The media will blow past this low hanging fruit showing that Trump is a reactionary know nothing who just plows ahead in the idiocracy and kakistocracy to ignore the crimes Trump does on a daily basis (or worse, magic balance fairy bulkshit the hell out of events that are in no way equal).
We saw that latter bit over the weekend where CBS had historian Doug Brinkley on to talk about impeachment and he launched into a both sides argument that Democrats failed as part of impeachment, even though the failures were entirely on the GOP that refuses to hold Trumpworld accountable for the crimes. The GOP are the ones who are contorting themselves with 20D pretzel logic to claim that they somehow disagree with how Trump acted, but that it doesn’t rise to impeachable conduct, all while claiming that they would impeach Biden for so much less - and on zero actual evidence (before he’s even in the office, just as they warned they’d do the same against Clinton had she won the EC - and who was again exonerated by the Trump DOJ just a few short days ago).

It’s not that Conservatives are too lazy to do research. They are openly hostile to actual science, evidence and facts. Republican talking points are not a benign negligence of truth-telling. Republicans now operate on a platform entirely based on ideology unhinged from reality and opposed to about 98% of the world population from being relevant or even existing.

Absolutely. Tired of fake every men.
Christ. Not sure if this is reliable - it *is* a British tabloid, after all, but the Daily Star claims that Chinese hospitals are stacking the body bags and that a whistleblower got arrested for shooting video of all the bodies.
Chinese authorities have arrested a man who covertly filmed the true scale of the coronavirus outbreak from inside a Wuhan hospital.
The shocking footage was taken inside a medical facility in Wuhan, the quarantined city in China where the killer disease which has killed 361 people.
It shows what seems to be body bags piled on top of each other inside a van.
The man seems to imply there are “eight in total” in the vehicle. He then walks into the hospital ward.
“There are so many dead people,” the cameraman says. “He’s moving bodies here.”
Doctors in hazmat suits can be seen desperately trying to save countless victims.

re: #139 lawhawk
So, will the kerfuffle over the fact that Trump doesn’t know or care about geography have the same news-gathering pundits clutching their pearls for days or will this get lost just as surely as when Trump couldn’t figure out that Nepal and Bhutan are separate countries from India or that Kansas and Missouri are separate states and that KC Chiefs don’t play in Kansas?
Yeah, didn’t think so.
The media will blow past this low hanging fruit showing that Trump is a reactionary know nothing who just plows ahead in the idiocracy and kakistocracy to ignore the crimes Trump does on a daily basis (or worse, magic balance fairy bulkshit the hell out of events that are in no way equal).
We saw that latter bit over the weekend where CBS had historian Doug Brinkley on to talk about impeachment and he launched into a both sides argument that Democrats failed as part of impeachment, even though the failures were entirely on the GOP that refuses to hold Trumpworld accountable for the crimes. The GOP are the ones who are contorting themselves with 20D pretzel logic to claim that they somehow disagree with how Trump acted, but that it doesn’t rise to impeachable conduct, all while claiming that they would impeach Biden for so much less - and on zero actual evidence (before he’s even in the office, just as they warned they’d do the same against Clinton had she won the EC - and who was again exonerated by the Trump DOJ just a few short days ago).
Did you expect Both Sides Do It Brinkley do anything else?

I’m curious - why does Trump think the 49ers reflect badly on San Francisco or California? Sport and economic activity are not correlated.
Heck, the 49ers aren’t in SFO. They’re in the region, but in a completely different city - Santa Clara, which is closer to San Jose than SFO.
But sure, complain that SFO and CA are in the dumps why exactly? They have more economic growth than Kansas (or Missouri). They are doing a better job of insuring their residents, and have a lower per capita gun death rate too.

I don’t see the benefit of his argument being verbalized, period - all it does it normalize the GOP’s criminal, pro-fascist behavior. As for winning over “swing voters”, the only ones who think today’s GOP are legitimate partners are a) those who’ll vote trump no matter what b) beltway media both-siderists.

I didn’t understand the full context of the error which was that he had been to 47 of the 48 contiguous states. And he corrected himself and he didn’t have people making excuses. The right sure ate it up though and used it to beittle Obama’s intelligence. I was talking with my parents last night when we watched the game and we all agreed that Obama doesn’t get enough credit for the positive changes he did accomplish. I for one have thought that Obama never gets enough credit for having an executive branch that stood up so strongly for LGBT rights.

Gotta get all that sexual repression they have out. Some of them probably actually believe in some shit but I can totally see some of them being into really weird shit. None of my business but maybe they should shut the fuck up about how policies that give LGBT civil rights are destroying our values or call transgendered people sex offenders and freaks.

Of course, most people are up in arms over him getting mad over a Hunter Biden question from the same interview apparently, but this is what’s keeping me from putting my hope behind Biden in the primary. This kind of nostalgic pining for comity with a party that’s sold its soul and operates almost solely in bad faith is simply going to encourage them to do even more and refuse to cooperate that much more. I mean, fuck, you had Joni Ernst vowing that the GOP would impeach you soon as you were elected, Joe. What kind of wake up call do you need?
But of course, no, most people care about Hunter Biden while ignoring the Nepotism Triplets, because #IOKIYAR is forever the soup du jour.

TheOnion had this years ago. Truthfully, it’s kind of sad since in an ideal society, they would be able to be open about who they are sexually but instead they pander to the creepy family values crowd that talks about satanic pregnancies.

At least even Bush laughed at himself with the Bushisms. Trumpisms? Trump does them and then he has these pathetic hacks covering for him. Oh and Matt Schlaap and his wife are about as Washington as you can get. He’s been here since Gingrich’s goons took over in 1994. And he’s from Kansas. And get this the Congressman he worked for until he went to to work for the Bush campaign and administration was none other than Mike Pompeo’s predecessor. His mother is also a former elected official. Nothing blue collar about Matt Schlaap or “From the heartland” about Matt other than how he chokes himself blue competing with the likes of Lumpy for the best excuses for Trump.

Slightly different though, you didn’t touch on how Tucker’s act is fake populist. I mean this is the heir of Swanson foods who acts like he’s in touch with workers. If Tucker ever had to actually visit a place like your hometown or my grandparents, he would look down on iit. Tucker’s a fucking con man. I’m old enough to remember him being a self described proud elitist. But now he’s Tucker the blue collar guy even though Tucker knows nothing about what those families go through. There’s this bullshit that the only working class people are white guys who work in coal mines or steel mills.
